3:2
The writer was not denigrating Moses. Moses was “faithful in all God’s house”. Likewise, Jesus was “faithful to the one who appointed Him”. Jesus was appointed by the Father. It was God’s idea that Jesus should be the Messiah, it was not man’s idea.
3:3
So both Jesus and Moses were faithful to the task assigned to them, though of course Moses did have many faults, and was not allowed to enter the Promised Land because of his main failing. But Jesus is “worthy of greater honour”. Why? Because the builder of the house has greater honour than the house itself. A great house would not be there at all if it were not for the builder. As will shortly become apparent, Moses was part of the house, just as you and I are part of the house. Jesus builds the house.
